There's really not much I can say about this game that hasn't already been said by numerous other actual games journalists. From my experience, the game is more of an experience than anything else. The gameplay is sparse, and tends to be more looking around for the next thing to activate. It is however a beautiful game to look at, and it is more beautiful for the set pieces that the game manages to string together to show off that beauty.
If anything, the thing this game does perfectly is it is an amazing introductory game. Most modern games have a lot of different controls and assumptions that you've played similar games before. Journey has none of that, you move, and you jump/fly, and that is about it, everything else is just exploring the world with a vague (but firm) goal of reaching that light at the end.
To my mind, completing this game will be getting all the achievements, or at least the white robe (for collecting all the white symbols), but that would require me sitting down and doing so with a guide since its so easy to miss them.
